The first coin I've ever bought from ebay, 1916P for $24. After close inspection, I gave it MS63-65. It looks better in hand and under magnification. I guess all that matters is I'm very happy with it, it replaces a G4 in my complete collection.

A very attractive coin at an attractive price! I think you did great; however, I can't tell an MS 64 from an MS 65, so I can't tell HOW great.

P.S. Sorry for copying your avatar. I thought I was being SO original when I chose it.

Nice buy! I like the red poking through. I would also give it a MS64, good buy!

Nice Lincoln. That is one heck of a step going from a G4 to a possible MS65. Congratulations.

Very nice. I see some hints of colorful toning on there. Very cool.

WHEW! Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the feedback. Looks like I came out OK on this one. As soon as the other ebay coin I ordered gets here, I'll post pics of that one too.

I need yo take some pointers from you. I don't seem to have much luck with ebay, Good price - rotten coin or good coin - paid way too much. You got a nice coin at a good price
